Georgia proudly and deservedly boasts that it is now home to 34 Fortune 1000 companies—up four from 2019 and 18 Fortune 500 firms. Atlanta itself is now ranked third in the nation for the number of Fortune 500 firms, tied with Chicago.

In October 2020, The New York Post alleged a trove of emails in a laptop left at a computer repair store in Delaware revealed the younger Biden’s business interests in Ukraine and China. His then-presidential candidate father’s team has issued a blanket denial of the allegations. Hunter Biden remains under investigation by the FBI and the IRS for issues relating to his tax filings which, according to The Associated Press, probes into his China dealings....
In recent times, the streaming giant Netflix has become increasingly vocal and forthright in shutting down the common practice of sharing accounts among several people, which many argue was a key element of the service becoming so popular to begin with. In a rather well-timed contrast to this decision, Xbox Game Pass has recently announced its plans for a shared Friends and Family Pass, actively encouraging subscribers to share the service’s benefits under one monthly payment....
The former Indiana governor told the Daily Caller that he hadn’t “given any thought” to events beyond the 2020 presidential election when the outlet pressed him on whether he would stand as a candidate in 2024. “I haven’t given any thought to anything beyond the election in 2020 because I think this election is so important to the life of the nation,” he told the Caller. “I think this could well be one of the most important elections in the long and storied history of the United States, because we’re really deciding what path we will take....
Roma, needing an early goal to set things in course, conceded as early as the 9th minute as Sadio Mane coolly slotted the ball home after being played in by Firmino. Unfortunately for Liverpool, a clearance deflected off James Milner and ended up in the back of the net and restored parity. Liverpool got their lead back once again and this time it was Wijnaldum doing the honours. Dzeko equalized for the Romans early in the second half....
The state’s executive stay-at-home order was set to expire on April 29, but Cooper decided to extend the end date until May 8. The extension keeps nonessential businesses closed and continues to enforce a ban on large public gatherings in the state. The order also requires restaurants to offer take-out service only. According to a press release from the governor’s office, the stay-at-home order was extended because North Carolina has not seen a “downward trajectory,” in the number of daily coronavirus cases, or an increase in the state’s testing and contact tracing....
In comparison, Arsene Wenger has amassed a paltry sum of trophies, a relative vulnerability that is all too identified with him in football forklore and the incredulous tendency to make the odd ludicrous decision - footballing and otherwise. Preamble Ferguson’s reign as United supremo was characterized by a push for global domination, synonymous perhaps, with capitalism that had seeped into European football in the early 90’s. Manchester United one of the richest clubs across Europe, and the toast of the ever growing market of the Premier League at that time capitalized, having left the then global lynchpins of World football, the Italians behind – and went swiftly from Football Club A to Football Brand B....
Downed power lines, flying embers that can travel a mile in a strong wind, tossed cigarettes, sloppy workers with blowtorches—the causes of the fires that raged from north of Los Angeles to south of San Diego last week may have been varied and accidental. Southern California was dry, and the Santa Anas, the winds that blow off the desert, can whip up a careless campfire into a conflagration. But one big fire, a blaze that burned 27,600 acres and consumed 14 houses, was apparently set deliberately....
Although the tactical shooter Rainbow Six Siege was released in 2015, the game has continued to rise in popularity while also getting continual updates and new content. In 2021 even, Rainbow Six Siege sold well on the Steam marketplace, despite its age. Unlike other tactical shooters, such as Counter Strike: Global Offensive, Rainbow Six Siege has not yet become free-to-play. Currently though, Rainbow Six Siege and its publisher Ubisoft have come under criticism after one artist claimed that the game had been using their art for years without credit or payment....
“We’re addressing the testing problem,” the nation’s top infectious disease expert said in an interview that aired on ABC’s This Week on Sunday. “Very soon that will be corrected.” His words came with the data blackout on COVID-19 cases set to end when the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) resumes updating its COVID Data Tracker today. The last update was on December 23. The CDC’s COVID Data Tracker Weekly Review, which interprets the week’s data, will not return until January 7....
“Modern life is impossible without information and communications technologies (ICTs),” the Kremlin’s special representative for cooperation in the field of information security, Andrey Krutskikh, told Newsweek. “They determine our well-being, security and survival. Relying on them, we can become richer or lose all our savings. They are transboundary and almost all-mighty.” “Amidst this reality,” he added, “the main task is not to frighten each other with digital means, but to try to reach agreements before it is too late....
But Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) Director Rochelle Walensky said Monday that vaccinations alone won’t be enough to combat the state’s spike in COVID-19 cases and hospitalizations. “I think if we try to vaccinate our way out of what is happening in Michigan, we would be disappointed that it took so long for the vaccine to work, to actually have the impact,” Walensky said during a White House briefing....
AS Monaco come into this game on the back of a 1-1 draw against Christophe Galtier’s Paris Saint-Germain in their most recent league game. A first-half goal from German forward Kevin Volland for AS Monaco was canceled out by a second-half penalty from Brazil international Neymar for Paris Saint-Germain. Troyes, on the other hand, beat 10-man Angers 3-1 in their most recent Ligue 1 fixture. Goals from attacker Renaud Ripart, Guinea-Bissau international Mama Balde and young winger Wilson Odobert sealed the win for Bruno Irles’ Troyes....

QAnon is now a firmly entrenched and quickly growing force of disruption in the American information landscape. President Trump, perhaps QAnon’s most influential promoter, had as of August retweeted or mentioned 129 different Twitter accounts associated with QAnon, according to the research group Media Matters for America, a left-leaning non-profit that aims to be a watchdog for conservative media. QAnon distributes conspiracy theories and other forms of disinformation and foments violence....

In case you didn’t know… Gabriel Martinelli is a 17-year-old forward who plays for Ituano in the Campeonato Paulista, Brazil’s top flight league. The winger also had trials with Manchester United but the Gunners are set to swoop in before anyone else. According to the Sun, Martinelli prefers the idea of living in London and believes that he would get more opportunities in the first team than he would at other top European clubs....
In case you didn’t know… The defender in question is Michael Keane, who plays as a centre-back for Everton. He started out his career with Manchester United, being promoted to the senior side back in 2011. But at the time, he wasn’t deemed good enough for the Red Devils and was sold in 2015 to Burnley for £2m. However, two years on from that move, he was signed by Everton for a whopping £25m....
— Tom Adams (@tomEurosport) April 16, 2013 The Frenchman should have buried Aaron Ramsey’s cross from the right, but he couldn’t direct the ball into the goal. A sitter of a goal that would have given Arsenal the lead at half-time. In the second half, a similar chance was created by Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain on the right, but Seamus Coleman poked the ball away from Giroud. Giroud created his third chance by moving away from Jagielka and blazing the ball over the bar....
Arsene Wenger has secured a place at European football’s top table in each of his 19 full seasons in charge in north London, but the Gunners find themselves outside the top four ahead of their 38th match of the 2016-17 campaign against Everton. Leaving Arsenal was best - Szczesny Arsenal must win to have any chance of pipping Manchester City to a qualification spot and though they could rise above Liverpool with a draw, it is incredibly unlikely....
